Les Brock Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I'm looking to buy a new air rattle gun as the old one is stuffed, it's...well it was a Machine mart special never been over impressed with it for torque, so is it worth me spending more and getting something like an Ingersoll rand/SIP or another reccomended make... are they all of a muchness or do you get what you pay for ? the compressor is a 200 litre, 14 CFM so airs not to much of a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robhybrid Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I havent experianced many but I have had 18 months out of a Draper one and the ingersol rand one is 3 years old and still going strong. I have noticed that as it got older it actualy became stronger dont ask me why, I guess it must be loosening up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon White Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I;ve got a CP one - brilliant. Had a machine mart one before - it wouldnt even undo car wheelnuts! You get what you pay for, ingersoll rand, CP, some snap on are all ok. Avoid anything that costs less than £50 retail, and anything made by SIP, draper etc etc. Look at the torque figures - you need to look for 450ft/lb as a minium for a 1/2" drive.
